With just two weeks to go until Election Day, the race between incumbent Gov. Nathan Deal and Jason Carter, and the U.S. Senate race between Michelle Nunn and David Perdue are too close to call, according to a new poll conducted by Survey USA for Atlanta Business Chronicle broadcast partner WXIA-TV.

The poll shows Democrat Senate hopeful Michelle Nunn with 46 percent of the vote, while Republican David Perdue has 44 percent, the station reports.

Libertarian Senate candidate Amanda Swafford polled at 4 percent, not quite enough to determine if her presence in the race will force a runoff election, WXIA adds.

In the race for governor, Deal, a Republican, is down one point from last week to 45 percent. Challenger Jason Carter, a Democrat, is down three points to 43 percent. Libertarian Andrew Hunt has 4 percent. Eight percent of voters said they have not yet decided how they will vote.
